r/apple rules: what actually gets removed

Each rule below is paired with the way it is most likely enforced. Where the rules state a number, we quote it. Where they do not, we say so instead of guessing.

1. 1.No reposts, and/or rehosted content.

   Enforcement varies

   Please refrain from posting an article that has already been posting from the same source as yours, or from a different source. [Please visit the Rules page for more clarification on this rule](https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/wiki/rules)

2. 2.No memes, direct images or contextless image/video posts.

12. 12.No posts about bugs in beta software.

    Enforcement varies

    There are dedicated subreddits to share news, bugs and everything else in between in regards to iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS Betas. /r/Apple only allows news of beta releases, and major bugs (example: if a beta is bricking devices).

13. 13.No vaccine misinformation

    Enforcement varies

    Comments that are spreading COVID vaccine misinformation/claims are not allowed. Anyone found spreading misinformation may be found unwelcome on r/Apple

r/apple does not publish karma or account-age minimums in its rules. Subreddits often enforce unpublished filters on top of what they write down, which is why posts from new accounts can vanish without a message here.
